Will the tablets work for bad breath

Dr. John Cousins BVSc MRCVS

This depends on the cause of the bad breath. Usually (sorry for the graphic detail) this is bacteria living in the mouth on the dirty surface of teeth, especially in pockets just below the gum line. Where that is the case, the problem is more oral hygiene than anything else. Regular brushing with a soft toothbrush (dipped in clean water, or pet toothpaste) is by far the best treatment. Anything else might help but is not as good. Logic oral gel placed into the mouth or even added to food can help. Occasionally bad breath has a different cause, but that is quite rare so I would have to assume the above applies. Giving chewy foods and treats is great too, but you have to find something appropriate. Dried, 100% meaty chews are good. Crunchy biscuits are usually terrible. (Try crunching a digestive biscuit then deciding how clean your teeth are. Small crumbs mixed with saliva are not great for this.) Hills t/d food is an exception. I would try those ideas first.
